How to improve CI/CD with shift-left testing
Testing applications used to be a technically challenging, time-crunched activity scheduled days or weeks before an application’s release. Development teams were given the leeway to code until the eleventh hour, and testers, who did much of their work manually, had little choice but to make do with the bit of time given to them. The result was that many applications underwent substandard testing, and technology teams were forced to respond to the production issues and defects escalated by end-users and application monitoring systems.
